Some reference points,

41cm at the front nose

69,5 cm at the front wheel arch

55cm at the rear wheel arch

 168,3cm or 66 1/4 behind the front doors. Not a steering box scraper BY FAR!!

I took her out for a cruise with all the Safari windows and pop-outs open! That must be a blast on 35degrees day!

I just love these "long spoon" pop-out locks.

Rear safari

This "first generation" car phone still needs to be connected

And a very important item for the party nights

Bob's bus, still high on its wheels:-)

Front panels are in

Nice, hé

I also fitted some more interior panels in the PBW doca.

In the rear area

Cutting some plastic for behind the front door panels

Taped the plastic to the front door, ready for the panel to be fitted!

Time for paint, some Zinc primer and black afterwards

Final fitment!

One last check before paint

The front tab

The rear tab

Inner strengther at the rear as well. I still need to get the OG rubbers to fit here

Welding the hoop

Positionning the lower tabs before welding

The front hoop is done

Second one welded as well.

The bends got all wrinkly from the bending, so I had to straighten them out

1 side is done

Done, ready for use!

I wanted to fill the back of the doca, so I wanted to make some hoops! I will roll these with the wood slats, but not with some canvas...

I got these bend

Positionning the tab

This part is done, also check the inner strengthers as per original hoops

Quick check, do not mind the height yet. that still needs to be lowered to OG height
